Can I get more than one tooth replaced with dental implants?

We can replace a single tooth or multiple teeth with dental implants. We also offer implant supported dentures and full arch dental implants for patients that need several or all of their teeth in the upper or lower jaw replaced.

Will my insurance cover my dental implant procedure?

Some insurance companies will cover a portion or all the costs of dental implant surgery. They may also cover pre-operative procedures, such as a sinus lift or bone grafting. We can review your benefits coverage before your treatment begins.

How much experience does the doctor have with dental implant placement and restoration?

Our dentist, Dr. Benjamin Hanson, received a Doctorate Degree in Dental Surgery at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and has extensive experience performing dental implant surgery. In addition to serving as a general dentist in Brownstown, MI, Dr. Hanson is the sole Clinical Director of Implantology for Heartland Dental which supports over 800 dentistry practices. He places hundreds of dental implants a year and has worked on all types of tooth replacement cases.

How long does it take to get my teeth replaced with dental implants?

The dental implant placement procedure is performed in one visit but you will need to come back for a checkup and for the final implant restoration. If you end up needing a bone graft or other procedures before the placement procedure, you will need to plan for a few visits.

Is the procedure painful?

Dental implant surgery is performed in our office under IV sedation so most patients find it to be tolerable. Dr. Hanson and our team work hard to ensure patient comfort with any procedure and will walk you through the process so you know what to expect. Any post-op pain you experience is easy to manage with over-the-counter pain relievers and by placing an ice compress around the treated area.

Dental Crowns & Bridges - Brownstown, MI

Restore a Seamless Smile with Crowns and Dental Bridges

Maintain Your Beautiful Smile with Restorative Dentistry

If you have one or more damaged teeth or a missing tooth, Dr. Benjamin Hanson may recommend crowns and bridges as a lasting tooth restoration procedure. Dr. Hanson has helped countless patients in Brownstown, MI, restore their complete smile and uses only the highest quality materials.

Are You a Candidate for Crowns and Bridges?

If you are missing a tooth and have two healthy teeth on either side of the gap, Dr. Hanson can place a dental bridge between these teeth to restore your smile. The bridge is made of a prosthetic tooth and anchored or attached to healthy teeth to rebuild your bite and create a seamless smile. Bridges can be especially effective for preventing remaining teeth from moving when there is a large gap from a missing tooth between them.

If you are undergoing a root canal or receiving dental implants, Dr. Hanson can place a personalized crown over the tooth to rebuild your smile. A crown can also protect a tooth with a large filling or be used for cosmetic reasons to enhance the appearance of a tooth. You must be in good dental health before you can get dental crowns or dental bridges.

Our Process

Restorations are usually performed with local anesthesia so your teeth, gums and mouth will be completely numb. Patients usually only feel slight tugging and pressure during the crown or bridge placement. Dr. Hanson may need to fit you with a temporary crown or bridge when your restorations are being made in a lab. You will return to the office for the final placement and fitting. As long as you maintain a consistent oral care routine at home, you can expect your dental crowns and dental bridges to last for many years to come.
